England, 1991

A really large (“5” was one of the largest group size in the serial production), really traditional (02 – is one of the oldest and respected Dunhill shapes) and really impressing by its size, shape, grain and condition Dunhill Shell from 1991.

The pipe marking is “5102”, “DUNHILL SHELL \ MADE IN ENGLAND 31”. The length is 14.7 cm (5.79″), bowl’s height is 5.4 cm (2.12″). External diameter of the bowl is 3.9 cm (1.54″), internal diameter is 2.1 cm (0.83″). The depth is 4.8 cm (1.89″) and this pipe weights 58 gr. Briar, vulcanite stem, no filter. There was a small surface chunk split off on the shank, we’ve put it back and fixed with a strong super glue – almost invisible.
